| Abstract | "As our planet faces the growing threat of climate change and soil salinization, the need for developing resilient crops has never been more urgent. Ion Transporters: The Clue to Salt Tolerance and Adaptation in Plants offers an honest attempt to delve into the molecular mechanisms that enable plants to survive in salty environments. The book explores how ion transporters- specialized proteins that regulate the movement of ions across plant cell membranes- are central to a plant's ability to manage salt stress and thrive in challenging conditions. Drawing from cutting-edge research in plant physiology, molecular biology, and genetics, this book uncovers the complex role of ion channels, pumps, and transporters in salt tolerance. It also highlights how scientists are leveraging these mechanisms to develop crops capable of withstanding increasing soil salinity. From halophytes, nature's salt survivors, to biotechnological breakthroughs, this book reveals the future of sustainable agriculture in a salt-affected world. A special focus is given to advanced biotechnological tools such as gene editing, CRISPR-Cas9, and modern breeding techniques. Key Features In-depth explanation of ion transporters and their role in salt tolerance Coverage of ion channels, pumps, and their coordination in stress adaptation Case studies on halophytes and naturally salt-tolerant systems Insights into gene editing, CRISPR-Cas9, and biotechnology applications Exploration of sustainable crop development under saline conditions Whether you are a researcher, educator, or agricultural practitioner, this book will deepen your understanding of the molecular underpinnings of salt tolerance and inspire innovative solutions for global food security"-- Provided by publisher. |
